Just an Ordinary Day...

Today is one of those days where there really isn't anything on the agenda (except for Anna's last swimming lesson at 2:00) and it's gloomy outside, so we have spent the day playing at home in our comfy clothes.  I think for Anna after all the busy weekends, fun activities, etc, this was a welcome morning.  No where to be.  So, since I haven't done so in a while, I busted out the camera on an ordinary day at home, and caught a few pictures (probably way too many for some of you) of Anna and her personality.  It's been a while since I've just done a post like this...

Anna.

Say CHEESE Anna. 

She really has started reacting when we say "say Cheese"...that is when she wants to.  Usually it's an adorable toothy grin like this one.  It's really amazing to me how much she picks up everyday and how much she understands.  It's unbelievable...

Climbing all over the coffee table. 

Under the table.Rraawwwwwrrrrrrr!

Most of our house is still very Anna-proofed.  However, as of lately I have gotten brave and brought more of my old picture frames that had to be tucked away or put up higher out and onto lower spots where Anna can look at them and play with them.  She loves to look at pictures of herself and others and she points to the people and jabbers about them.  She especially loves her baby pictures.  Here she is admiring a picture of her and her cousin Will.  It even has a new special frame that says Cousins. 

She will just sit and hold the frames or bring them to me when I'm in the kitchen to show me.  She is also great at following directions and putting them back when asked.  She tries to set them up, but when she can't brings it back to me for help. 

She's also really into the camera and seeing the pictures after we take them....so we did a Mommy-Anna photo shoot and looked at them each time. 

Keep your tongue in Anna! :)

Better!

Kisses for Anna.

Mouth Wide Open!

Let me see that!

Up High!

Last one. 

Time to run!

Expressing frustration...she often purses her lips and breathes through her teeth (if that makes sense) when she's annoyed, frustrated, mad, etc.

More coffee table fun.

Silly.

Climbing onto the couch...something she's been a pro at for a while now!

Pointing at Baby Will...

Lunch time. 

She is getting better with utensils.  Spoons are difficult, but she's a master at stabbing things with her fork.  She's very proud when she does too!

Yum.

Eating off the fork.

MMMM....

Her new Peter Rabbit fork from Grandma and Grandpa F for Easter.

Well, I think naptime has ended, which means blogging time has too.  Time to get ready for our last swimming lesson.
